Is it true if baby eats more in the day they will wake less at night?

Question

My 12 week old still wakes 4 times to eat at bedtime which is between 8am and 8pm. If I try to feed him more in the day will he start waking less.

Answer

I tried to feed more yesterday during the day and he had his worse night's sleep since being a newborn. I envy those that get their babies to sleep through the night...

Answer

It seems to work for us. I EBF and I do a feed around 5pm, 6pm and then at bed time (between 7-7:30pm). His first stretch of sleep is usually 4-7 hours, then back to every 2-3.

Answer

I think it’s true for my daughter! If she gets her full 28 ounces in for the day (including 4 ounces just before bed) she’ll sleep all night til 4:30 or so. If she doesn’t get all 28oz or she doesn’t get that 4oz bottle before bed she will wake up earlier for another bottle.

Answer

It just depends. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. I try to load up my son between his morning bottle and his bedtime bottle but it doesn’t always work lol. Morning bottle could be 230 AM or could be 5 feedings haven’t changed but he will wake up hungry

Answer

It’s not the case for my son but everyone if different!
